The Greystones CNS Annual Table Quiz will once again be held in the Whale Theatre on Friday 27th March.
​
Many local businesses have been contacted requesting their support in the form of sponsorship and/or prizes. Thanks to their generosity in the past we have had an amazing array of prizes on the night and anticipate the same support this year.

With the move to our new school happening in 2020 it is more important than ever that we raise as much money as possible. We would ask parents, where appropriate, to approach their employers for:
  • Sponsorship of a round of questions (€150)
  • Make a donation to the list of prizes
  • Donate an item for the silent auction

Any and all donations are welcome.

Further details will follow with regard to booking a table for the night. We're really looking forward to another fantastic night celebrating and supporting our amazing school.

Bag2school is a great fundraiser

1/13/2020

0 Comments

 
What's in an old bag of clothes? Lots! Over the past two years we've raised almost €1,500 by participating in the bag2school initiative. 
​
We do two collections a year, one in October and one in May and we earn roughly .40c per kilogram. A portion of what we collect also goes directly to the Laura Lynn Foundation. 

So when you're doing your Spring clear out, put the clothes aside for our May collection and see can we keep this as a great fundraiser for the school!
